The value of $g$ at the surface of earth is $9.8 \,m / s ^2$. Then the value of ' $g$ ' at a place $480 \,km$ above the surface of the earth will be nearly .......... $m / s ^2$ (radius of the earth is $6400 \,km$ )
A
$9.8$
B
$7.2$
C
$8.5$
D
$4.2$
Solution
(c)
$g_h=g\left[\frac{R}{R+h}\right]^2$
$\Rightarrow g_h=9.8\left[\frac{6400}{6400+480}\right]=8.48 \,m / s ^2$
